to strip away all

by Aaron Michael

mostly because they can make people cry
people are like onions,
but,
in the fact that they have layers you
can strip down and dress up
and give flavor and flare
is it more
than just
pain that defines us.

strip down someone's defense and
you end with vunerability, but
cut, and stab straight for the core
and you'll end tearful and fearful
and learned,

and know nothing, save that
defenses are there for a reason.

actually, i disagree. i know this was written quickly and off the cuff, but it shows an insight and understanding of human fragility and strength that many do not grasp.
